I am a huge fan of yellow curry chicken, in fact. it's probably the only thing I order at Thai restaurants. I found yellow curry sauce at Trader Joe's, used it by itself once, and wasn't a fan; however, it's pretty fantastic with a bit of flare.

Servings: 3-4

Ingredients:

Thai Yellow Curry Sauce from Trader Joes

Handful of chopped basil

1.5 tbsp chopped garlic

1/2 tbsp chopped ginger

4 small potatoes, cubed (or 1 large potato)

1/2 onion, chopped finely

1 lb chicken, cubed or chopped in 1" pieces (tofu works equally well)

1/2 tbsp sea salt

1.5 tbsp, pepper

Instructions:

Pour 2-3 tbsp of canola oil in pan

Saute onions until translucent/golden

While you saute the onions, stick the diced potatoes in the microwave for 3-4 minutes

Quickly saute garlic and ginger

Add in chicken or tofu (ensure you are at medium heat)

Immediately add in salt and pepper (add in a bit of cayenne pepper or parika if you like)

Pour in about 1/2 of the sauce and continue to let the chicken cook

Add in 4 tbsp of yogurt (non-fat works) and stir quickly to ensure the yogurt dissolves
